5. What type of parents are we?

6. Raising kids is one of the toughest and most fulfilling jobs in the world — and the one for which you might feel the least prepared. These 8 child-rearing tips can help you feel more fulfilled as a parent.

7. 1 . Boost Your Child's Self-Esteem --Praising accomplishments, will make them feel proud. --Make them feel capable and strong --Avoid using belittling comments or comparing a child unfavorably with another --Avoid making loaded statements or using words as weapons. --everyone makes mistakes and you still love them.

8. 2 . Catch Kids Being Good

9. "You made your bed without being asked — that's terrific!" or "I was watching you play with your sister and you were very patient." These statements will do more to encourage good behavior over the long run than repeated scoldings . Make a point of finding something to praise every day. Be generous with rewards — your love, hugs, and compliments can work wonders and are often reward enough.

10. 3. 3. Set Limits and Be Consistent With Your Discipline Establishing house rules helps kids understand your expectations and develop self-control. Some rules might include: no  TV  until  homework  is done, and no hitting, name-calling, or hurtful teasing allowed.

11. 4. Make Time for Your Kids -- spend quality time together.  -- Get up 10 minutes earlier in the morning so you can eat breakfast with your child or leave the dishes in the sink and take a walk after dinner. -- Attending concerts, games, and other events with your teen communicates caring and lets you get to know more about your child and his or her friends in important ways. -- Don't feel guilty if you're a working parent. It is the many little things you do — making popcorn, playing cards, window shopping — that kids will remember.

12. 5. Be a Good Role Model Model the traits you wish to see in your kids: respect, friendliness, honesty, kindness, and tolerance. Exhibit unselfish behavior. Do things for other people without expecting a reward. Express thanks and offer compliments. Above all, treat your kids the way you expect other people to treat you.

13. 6 . Make Communication a Priority

14. -- You can't expect kids to do everything simply because you, as a parent, "say so.“ -- Make your expectations clear. If there is a problem, describe it, express your feelings, and invite your child to work on a solution with you. Make suggestions and offer choices. Be open to your child's suggestions as well. 

15. 7 . Show That Your Love Is Unconditional When you have to confront your child, avoid blaming, criticizing, or fault-finding, which hurt self-esteem and can lead to resentment. Instead, try to nurture and encourage, even when disciplining your kids. Make sure they know that although you want and expect better next time, your love is there no matter what.

16. 8. Know Your Own Needs and Limitations as a Parent Try to have realistic expectations for yourself, your partner, and your kids. You don't have to have all the answers — be forgiving of yourself. Admit it when you're burned out. Take time out from parenting to do things that will make you happy. care about your own well-being

17. You are blessed! You are a parent! Be Grateful! You are a parent! Remember you are on a journey with your children…. A journey that is full of unconditional love, support care …
